No doubt about it.I totally agree that being rude is uncalled for. I think John could have more gracefully handled it, although I also think John wanted to warn his readers of a potential scam.I'm sure John gets requests for stuff like that all the time. There had to be a reason he picked this guy. John is too calculated to randomly trash someone imo. Kwan does write awesome reviews. No doubt about it.

Rude is rude and that is exactly what. John is rude some times; no scratch that, most of the time when it comes to interacting with other bloggers.None of us are perfect bloggers we are all out here trying our best, we don’t know it all and for someone to rudely pick at a person or their blog is uncalled for. Oh I still hang out on John’s blog and comment, but I really don’t take him seriously. The only good thing about his blog really is when Kwan does the Reviews, because they are well written and grammatical easy to read.

You have shown really some greatest way, I will apply that in my life. I think communication is such best way to build better relationship.

I guess where we disagree is how bad Don is. I think he's just misguided and ignorant when it comes to making money online and blog etiquette. Just an outright bad salesman. Whereas you believe he's a scam artist who has nothing of value to offer.Maybe I'm giving him too much of a benefit of a doubt. I guess we'll never know until somebody forks over $19.95 to read his ebook! I definitely see your point. I guess where we disagree is how bad Don is.

I think the guy did have/does have bad intentions, and John saw right through it. I think John wanted to protect his readers from this guy.If he sent a message to John, there is a good chance he contacted many other bloggers in the MMO community. A few of them might have ended up endorsing the product (maybe without fully investigating).So when John's unsuspecting readers read an endorsement on another site, they might go buy it. When it turns out to be a very poor value for the asking price, they ended up getting scammed by someone who has bad intentions.If all the people who got scammed from the Acia Gimmicks could have been warned that they didn't work, wouldn't they have been appreciative?The main point I was trying to get across in my post isn't that John Chow was right in ripping him (although I do think he was), but more to point out that not everyone's intentions are as innocent everyone thinks.He got ripped in public and everyone comes to his defense (possibly without even checking into it). I'm sure John gets other requests for links, reviews, etc, but he doesn't publicly rip them.John ripped this person for a reason (and it wasn't to feed his ego, I don't think that's John's style).Can you see where I'm coming from?

I don't think Don is on the right track and you're right, he probably didn't do his homework.Personally, I believe if John wanted to rip Don a new one, he could've done it privately and just posted the email anonymously.I think being embarrassed publicly should be saved for the truly evil people with bad intentions, not the clueless Don's.
